    Abstract Uncemented hip replacement matches the best results of classic cemented replace-ments. With the aim of preserving bone and soft tissue, implants with shorter stems and proximalmetaphyseal support have been developed. Likewise, the lack of distal load should avoid cor-tical diaphyseal remodelling phenomena and the thigh pain of some cylindrical and wedgeimplants. The resurfacing implant, very popular as a conservative hip replacement in the youngadult, has disadvantages associated with the fragility of the neck and with large head metalfriction torque. Short stem hip replacement may be a reasonable alternative to classic implantsand surface hip replacements. The different designs of conservative short stem implants areanalysed, and are classied according to their morphology and biomechanical characteristics.Some medium term series show promising results. 2011 SECOT.

Con el n de preservar el tejido seo y las partes blandas, se handesarrollado implantes con vstagos ms cortos y con apoyo proximal en la metsis. Adems,la ausencia de carga distal evitara los fenmenos de remodelacin cortical diasaria y el dolorde muslo de algunas prtesis de geometra cilndrica o en cuna. Las prtesis de supercie, muypopulares como artroplastia conservadora en el adulto joven, han generado inconvenientesrelacionados con la fragilidad del cuello y con el par de friccin metlico de cabeza grande. Lasprtesis femorales de vstago corto pueden ser una alternativa ventajosa a las prtesis clsicasy a las artroplastias de supercie.
